Set out to create a relationship with someone that can show you the ropes.

Just change your settings and discounts to attract MTR or LTR crowds,  personally, I would be careful Of furnished finders.

Definitely is more work to get things set up however.

Set some goals.

It gives you peace of mind knowing everything is set up correctly and in compliance with local laws.

Set up some bunks and a coffee maker, stock the fridge with some muffins and eggs and offer up as a fishing camp? 

You can set it up so the seller is the member of the LLC that owns the property  so that if you are going under then the buyer is booted out of the LLC and seller takes over ownership.

It is very simple to set up bank accounts, assign virtual credit cards, and tag revenue and expenses so you can stay on top of it.

**Lease and HAP Contract**: Once the property passes inspection, you can sign the lease with your tenant, and HUD will set up a Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contract with you to begin rent payments.

But since you have lived in it for 2 out of the last 5 you would get that $500K tax free.You set up a situation where you qualify for both.
